Sara Martha Fonseca
Cuban activist Sara Martha Fonseca, in jail since Saturday when she and others were savagedly beaten by a Castroite goon squad that broke into her home, has started a hunger strike.
Independent journalist David Águila Montero reports for PayoLibre.com that Fonseca is being held at a police station in the Cerro section of Havana, still suffering from the injuries to her lips, back and knee she suffered on Saturday. Dama De Blanco Odalys Zanabria Rodríguez told Águila that a police official told her that Fonseca will soon be transferred to another jail as prosecutors prepare to charge her with "assault."
In recent weeks and months, Fonseca has been one of the most forceful opponents of the Castro regime, carrying out high-profile protests like a demonstration last month on the steps of the old Capitol building in Havana. The fear is the Castros have decided to strike back with more than the typical catch-and-release tactics that have become typical of Raul Castro's tactics against most anti-government activists.
The world needs to pay attention and to speak up for this brave Cuban patriot.
